really really good christmas songs
How Many Kings by Downhere
Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe, after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother’s shawl -
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for? ’cause…
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
All that we have, whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for his honor, and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he will suffer
Now, do you believe?
Is this who we’ve waited for?
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me.
Born to Die by Bebo Norman
They never knew a dark night
always had the Son's light
on their face
Perfect in glory
Broken by the story
of untold grace...
come that day
Majesty had come down
Glory had succumed now
to flesh and bone
In the arms of a manger
In the hands of strangers
that could not know
Just who they hold
And the angels filled the sky
All of heaven wondered why
Why their King would choose to be
Be a baby born to die
And all fell silent
For the cry of an infant,
the voice of God
Was dividing history
For those with eyes to see,
the Son would shine
From earth that night
To break the chains
Of guilt and sin
To find us here
To pull us in
So we can join in Heaven's song
And with one voice around the throne
All the Angels filled the sky
And I can't help but wonder why
Why the King would choose to be
Be a baby born for me
Be a baby born to die

wow...those are great Megan. I'm a big fan of Bebo. Thanks for sharing.
Nothing against old Christmas songs. They are wonderful. It's just something about singing a new song that really makes you think about the words and not the traditional "Christmas tune".
Now I need to go find them and download them. :)
great lyrics. good music. thanks for sharing.
i like the new picture banner thing behind your title. panoramic from st. joes?
Have downloaded both of them. Thanks for the recommendations. I would expect nothing less from the master music manager...
:)
Cool picture on the top of your blog. Love it!!!
yup, it's from St. JOe's. whoa...the picture grew. i didn't even do anything to it!! ah, well, i'll have to mess w/ it later...
